The Crooked Green Creek Mine was another fascinating gold mine which became discovered in 1946, by Neil Smith of Nezah, Ontario. He soon had stumbled upon a large amount of gold in central Pifher Township. Once the prospector had determined this to be gold, he immediately staked his very own claim that became identified as the No. 1 vein zone. After further prospecting this area by trenching along the main vein zone, the prospector himself decided to sell this claim off to another mining company.

By 1947, the Green Lake Gold Mines had fully acquired the property from Mr. N. Smith and had soon started on exploring the main extent of the No. 1 vein zone. Most of this whole entire phase was accomplished by 17 short diamond drill holes that soon encountered three other discovery veins. These newly discovered areas became commonly identified as the No. 2., No. 3, and No.4 vein zones. Nothing further was being done by the company as the mine was either to costly or the company did not think it was worth mining. The No. 1 vein zone was said to have average 1.35 ounces per a ton of rock, while the No. 2 vein zone had only been estimated to have average 0.38 ounce per a ton of rock. Another vein, know as the No. 4 vein was said to have average the highest assay results of 4.11 ounces per a ton of rock.

In 1958, the mine was now under the ownership of Challew Lake Gold Mines Limited, and had partnered up with Martin Strugeon Syndicate. These two furious companies had decided to commence further trenching. land stripping, sampling and also had conducted 20 diamond drill holes on the No. 1 and No. 4 vein zones. With not enough encouraging results the two firms had also folded from the mining game and the Crooked Creek Gold Mine was once again abandoned. For the next two years the prospecting site would be completely abandoned till it was re-claimed by the Chellew Lake Gold Mines Limited, and W. Brown. Another diamond drilling phase was now being conducted east of the No. 1 vein zone to further examine this properties potential. With not enough encouraging results the company decided to fully abandon all mining operations by the end of the year. Another prospecting stage was soon under way when another prospector by the name of T. Christianson had decided to stake this claim in 1964. He immediately decided to examined this claim by taking bulk samples from the No. 1 vein for a distance of 236 feet. After shipping it to the assay lab, the results had once again returned pretty high and had average 5.0 ounce per a ton of rock. Another shipment of bulk sample was also made in the following year and had totalled 12.58 tons. After getting the results from the assay lab, it had once again average another 4.9 ounces per a ton of rock. No further production was said to have been accomplished during that year as the claim was ready to be sold in 1966.

All ownership was now being transferred to the Crooked Green Creek Mines as the company soon had named this mining zone. Some other claims within that area we're said to have also been leased by the former prospector. In general these claims became identified as claims 34902, 34905, and 34908. Company officials had also decided to stake an additional 25 claims and also brought TB 113679 to lease. More explorations were now being conducted by the company when they decided to establish surface sampling on the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 vein zones. After getting a higher grade from the No. 1 vein zone, the company had now started to engineer the very first shaft. In addition it was rather known to be a prospect shaft which had only went down to a distance of 31 feet on the No. 1 vein. No other production or development was achieved by the company during that year.

After further examining the potentials of the No.1 shaft, the company it self had decided to extend this structure to 38 feet below the ground. When the company and its employees had completed the shaft extension project, the soon conducted further testing by Mag and I.P Surveys. They also had started on a short diamond drill hole phase of 39 holes and had also extracted 70 tons of ore from the mine during that year. No further production was commenced by the company when the ore had proven to be very low in processing. All ownership was now being transferred to another mining company who became identified as the Algoma Development Co. or the S & B Cowan. They immediately had now access to six potential mining zones and the No. 1 vein. As production was slowly now commencing the company decided to design a 5 ton/day milling operation on the No 1 vein zone. As the mill became to inefficient for production, the company had no choice but to develop another 35 ton per a day mill in Thunder Bay. Company officials and its hard working employees had shipped 1000 tons of ore to the milling facility and had processed 915 ton of ore that average 0.26 ounces per a ton. The company also had went under a new ownership when it was now called the Northern Concentrators in 1981. All production and development had soon came to a full stop when the company was not producing enough gold. Even the gold within the claim was said to have slowly started to become exhausted because of records not being all there. Company officials had estimated that more gold was taken from this location then it has been reported on files.

By 1983, the mine was undergoing new ownership when the Great Western Petroleum & Anglo Canadian Mining Corp. had optioned some ground from the Northern Concentrators & Hillsborough. Another exploration was underway when the company decided to explore this ground by conducting Geological Mapping, Ground Magnetometer, electrical surveys, and 26 diamond drill holes that were to test the No. 1 vein zone. Company officials had also decided to conduct another drilling phase on the No. 2 vein that establish 18 holes. After getting this examined the results had returned extremely poor as it had average 0.047 ounces a ton of rock for a width of 1.7 feet. So once again the company who had option this land soon decided to call it quits and the property was later purchased in 1984.

All files soon became transferred to the Thunder Bay Joint Ventures and had soon started their very own mining operation. In addition the company decided to sample 790 tons of ore from the No. 2 vein zone. In addition the results from this location had only average 0.425 ounce per a ton of rock that was extracted during that year. Another sample was taken by the following year when the company had ship 200 tons of ore from the No. 2 vein zone. They also started further exploring this area by drilling six vertical diamond drill holes on claim TB518562. By 1986, the Thunder Bay Joint ventures had soon encountered another vein that became identified as the No. 5 but was proven to be very low in grade. Some other testing became accomplished by the company in 1987, but nothing encouraging was found to conduct further explorations. So the mine once again had became completely abandoned from any more mining or prospecting procedures.
